"Those that have followed In Flames from the very beginning, know that the Swedes have a divisive melodic death discography that extends nearly as long as my arm. From the 90s to the 00s it's difficult to believe that today's In Flames is even the same band." En fuego or down in flames?[Give in to your anger...]

"When great music flows from a band like water, it cranks up expectation to burning point. Your nerves tingle at the mere mention of a new official video. And your palms sweat a little as the band's shiny new promo drops like manna into your outstretched, grabby hands. With so many full-bodied offerings under their belt, can Omnium Gatherum make a clean sweep giving themselves a mighty four out of four winning streak?" Grey is the new black.[Give in to your anger...]

"The arrival of 2016 finds the tides turning for Varg, now signed to Napalm Records. Das Ende aller Lügen (The End of All Lies) is here and with it Varg presents their latest direction—one encouraging impulsivity, unpredictability, revelry and brute force. All packaged in nice bright red war paint." Madam X is here to tell you about the creepy German dogs she dragged home. Who's not interested in that? [Give in to your anger...]

Cold and snow may be new to Madam X, but not post-metal. Or wine![Give in to your anger...]

"As 2015 makes her grand and stately entrance, bear with and support me as I try to hunt down even more new blackened death metal albums that sound exactly like Septicflesh." Madam X has her foibles, but she also has plenty of quirks. Join her as she unveils a Top Ten(ish) list sure to bumfuzzle and befuddle.[Give in to your anger...]

"French grind with hardcore and black metal influence that screams of being "the noose that’ll suffocate your dry throat in an auto-erotic maelstrom of hatesphyxiation" - well now, don't mind if I do!" Madam X can never say no to a nice noose. That's why she works remotely and not at AMG headquarters.[Give in to your anger...]

"Looking for some seething death grind that attacks you like a horde of rotting zombies crudely ripping your intestines from your gut? Of course you are, who wouldn't be!" Can The Drip deliver the zombie-tastic carnage or are they just another brain dead clone? That name certainly isn't helping them any.[Give in to your anger...]
